Ingredients

• 1 cup Ghirardelli Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips
• 0.25 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder
• 0.5 cup Unsalted butter
• 1 cup Granulated sugar
• 2 Eggs
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.75 cup All-purpose flour
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 cup Ghirardelli Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips (optional for topping)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease an 8x8-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.

Step 2

In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the 1 cup of Ghirardelli Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips and butter together in 30-second intervals, stirring well between each interval, until smooth. Allow it to cool slightly.

Step 3

Stir in the cocoa powder and granulated sugar until fully combined.

Step 4

Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.

Step 5

In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour and salt. Gradually fold this dry mixture into the wet ingredients until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 6

Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly.

Step 7

If desired, sprinkle the additional 0.5 cup of Ghirardelli Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips over the top for extra chocolatey goodness.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs (not wet batter).

Step 9

Remove from the oven and let the brownies cool completely in the pan before slicing into 9 squares.

Step 10

Serve and enjoy these rich and fudgy brownies!
